Re: Problem: find not traversing /cygdrive/X properly?


I tried the lastest snapshot cygwin.dll - no changes - find still failed.

So, I bit the bullet and re-installed my Cygwin installation. Same problem: I can't do a 'find' from a top-level /cygdrive/X directory (and it seems to affect ONLY 'find' when searching from the top-level /cygdrive/X mount point).

When I do a 'find' command (in bash or tcsh):

tka-16:/cygdrive/p> find /cygdrive/c -iname cdplayer.ini
find: .: No such file or directory
find: /cygdrive/c/.backupSettings: No such file or directory
find: /cygdrive/c/AUTOEXEC.BAT: No such file or directory
find: /cygdrive/c/boot.ini: No such file or directory
find: /cygdrive/c/CONFIG.SYS: No such file or directory
find: /cygdrive/c/Documents and Settings: No such file or directory
find: /cygdrive/c/IO.SYS: No such file or directory
find: /cygdrive/c/Log.txt: No such file or directory
find: /cygdrive/c/MSDOS.SYS: No such file or directory
find: /cygdrive/c/NTDETECT.COM: No such file or directory
find: /cygdrive/c/ntldr: No such file or directory
find: /cygdrive/c/PRIOR_SYSTEM: No such file or directory
find: /cygdrive/c/Program Files: No such file or directory
find: /cygdrive/c/RECYCLER: No such file or directory
find: /cygdrive/c/System Volume Information: No such file or directory
find: /cygdrive/c/Temp: No such file or directory
find: /cygdrive/c/tomsteady.ini: No such file or directory
find: /cygdrive/c/WINDOWS: No such file or directory
find: /cygdrive/c/xPos.txt: No such file or directory


If I search a specific directory from the /cygdrive/X directory, it works:

tka-16:/cygdrive/p> find /cygdrive/c/windows -iname cdplayer.ini
/cygdrive/c/windows/CDPLAYER.INI



If I do 'find' on the "C:/" directory it works:


tka-16:/cygdrive/p> find C:/ -iname cdplayer.ini
C:/WINDOWS/CDPLAYER.INI


What's interesting is that if I do a 'find' on "/cygdrive/c/.", it also works!

tka-16:/cygdrive/p> find /cygdrive/c/. -iname cdplayer.ini
/cygdrive/c/./WINDOWS/CDPLAYER.INI



Does this clarify the problem or give more clues as to what might be going on? Is anyone else having this problem?

Anyway, mount -m returns the following (and the cygdrive-prefix looks good to me):

tka-16:/cygdrive> mount -m
mount -f -s -b "d:/cygwin/bin" "/usr/bin"
mount -f -s -b "d:/cygwin/lib" "/usr/lib"
mount -f -s -b "d:/cygwin" "/"
mount -s -t --change-cygdrive-prefix "/cygdrive"


I then took your suggestion and downloaded the snapshot version of cygwin1.dll, and rebooted:


tka-16:/cygdrive/c> uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-5.1 tka-16 1.5.19s(0.138/4/2) 20051013 22:16:34 i686 unknown unknown Cygwin



But the problem remains...


Is the part where the path is "normalized" (from the earlier strace listing) - when the drive letter goes missing from the /cygdrive/.../filename path - is that normalization done in the cygwin1.dll code or in the "find" application code?

mount -m may be a little more informative here, if something
happened to mount --change-cygdrive-prefix.

Maybe we should touch up that text to read "should *ALWAYS* be
sent as an attachment".

You may also want to try a snapshot - 1.5.19 is due soon,
and may have done something towards fixing whatever
is causing your issues.  But other than that, I am stumped.
